I have to say, I miss my chemistry set. I could never get the crystals, to form. I guess I did not have the patience. However I loved the chemical gardens. They used to give me sulphuric acid, at school. I used to walk in and ask for it, and they would pour me some, into a little bottle.

It was a different time. I am sad, that it passed.
